Abstract:

The research addresses man and society in the play "A View from the Bridge" for the writer Arthur Miller. It is a social play in which Miller interprets the social world into personal anxieties and community betrayals, and attempts to disclose the split of the ’self’ of the individual who experiences ethical ambiguities. He, as a social dramatist, demonstrates the financial difficulties of the brothers "Rodolpho" and "Marco" who immigrate from Italy to USA searching for a better life and a better situation, believing that there are equal opportunities and freedom in America. Miller by writing this play wishes to make a better society cares for its people and respects them. He censures the society for being incapable of offering equal chances, opportunities and jobs for its individuals and drives them to immigrate to other countries.
